The company
VitalWear is an early-stage startup company based in Eindhoven, developing solutions based on integrated photonic sensing technology, integrated into textiles and clothing, for noninvasive medical applications. Our vision is to become a leading provider of medical grade wearable sensors that can safely, continuously, autonomously, and comfortably monitor relevant patient information. Our first application is aimed at the early detection and more effective prevention of pressure ulcers, a global healthcare problem which is growing due to
the aging population.
VitalWear is currently recruiting for several roles to further build its technical team towards the development of its functional prototype and, subsequently, its Minimum Viable Product.
